Webb's a gem

SF 2  PIT 0

Logan Webb threw 148-1/3 innings last season. He gave up 128 hits and 53 runs and walked 36 while striking out 158. He allowed only 9 homers and finished with an 11-3 record and a 3.03 ERA (136 ERA+ and 2.72 FIP). FanGraphs gave him 4.1 WAR and Baseball-Reference gave him 3.8.

Logan Webb has thrown 150 innings this season. He's given up 131 hits and 54 runs and walked 39 while striking out 124. He's allowed only 10 homers and is sporting an 11-5 record and a 3.00 ERA (135 ERA+ and 3.23 FIP). FanGraphs rates him at 2.6 WAR and Baseball-Reference says 4.3.

Last night the Giants celebrated the 10th anniversary of that marvelous 2012 World Series championship team. Logan Webb then threw eight scoreless innings allowing only five hits and two walks while striking out nine. It was arguably his best start of the year. The Giants got just enough to eke out a win. Not much has gone right for the Giants this season mostly because players have not performed anywhere close to what they did last season. The exception is Webb, of course. He's delivered exactly what the Giants were hoping he would after his breakout performances last fall.

Alex Wood goes this afternoon (1:05 Pacific) with a chance for a sweep.

Go Giants!
